Putting together outfits - line drawings

This jacket is a zero waste piece that I have been developing. It can be worn three ways. Firstly, open as the man is wearing it in this picture. Secondly it can be tied as the women is wearing it. Lastly it can be fastened (on woman) with a flap that comes from inside. Working on a zero waste t-shirt. I have styled the figures slightly differently to show how people can wear the clothes their own way. 


Crossover jacket that woman wears closed most likely but has a series of fastenings so cross over flap can be tighter or loose. Bringing through the idea of a tapered trouser at the ankle for the woman with an elastic tie that is sold in addition to pants. Shirt is zero waste, working on pattern now. 

One of my favorite outfits. Jacket on man is possibly specific (have not quite decided) and is intended to enhance the idea of protective padding. T-shirt would have gun print. 

Machine quilted panels would line the sides of these drop crotch trousers. Would be in a warm grey merino. Can imagine someone from a younger market really loving these. For example they would be worn to uni, on the weekend etc. Jumper has loose turtle neck shape. Possibly needs more detail. 


Overcoming the issues with mens vs women's armhole here by having a vest that leans more toward women's arm hole shape (higher on shoulder line) then having a loose jacket that man wears over the top. These corduroy pants would fasten with belt. NEED POCKETS. 

One of my least favorite garments as I think this one is too similar to the one above. I like the large pleated pocket pants however. 



Vest that is women's specific and is worn over the top of loose jumper. I really like this tailored shape, I think it contradicts effectively with the looseness of the rest of the outfit. The pants once again follow the idea of being tapered around the ankle, this belt can then be tied around hips for man. Shop assistant would also suggest tying a belt that you have at home around these areas to promote the different/unusual ways you can wear the clothing, without buying more. 

Following through the corduroy pants with this contrast jacket. sleeves and collar would be in this thick corduroy fabric. Bringing through the machine quilting in pockets. 

I wanted to include something that was not pants in my collection so I made this jumpsuit that a man wears either without arm section up or with a t-shirt over the top. (It they are daring enough, I would love to see the jumpsuit worn as an everyday piece for a man). Gun print on long sleeved top.
